Hancock scrambles to deny accusations of criminal, disgraceful behaviour

THE Tory government was accused of “social murder” yesterday over its botched handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, as Health Secretary Matt Hancock scrambled to deny Dominic Cummings’s accusations of “criminal, disgraceful behaviour.” Labour MP Richard Burgon delivered the broadside as Mr Hancock failed to answer questions in the Commons regarding the former Downing Street aide’s testimony. Giving evidence to a Commons committee on Wednesday, Mr Cummings repeatedly attacked Mr Hancock as he highlighted mistakes on testing, personal protective equipment and the failure to protect vulnerable people in care homes. Mr Cummings’s claim that tens of thousands of lives were unnecessarily lost was backed up by a leading scientist, who said that between 20,000 and 30,000 lives could have been saved if Britain had locked down a week earlier.

Official review finds widespread Islamophobia in the Tory Party and failures to investigate internal allegations of racism

A DAMNING report has identified widespread Islamophobia in the Tory Party as well as failures to investigate internal allegations of racism. The long-awaited review into discrimination in the Conservative Party published today found that two thirds of all such complaints related to Islamophobia.  Report author Professor Swaran Singh said comments made by Prime Minister Boris Johnson comparing women wearing burkas to letterboxes and bank robbers gave the impression of being “insensitive to Muslim communities.” Complaints were handled by an under-resourced and inadequately trained team that fell short of best practice, the report adds, saying an overhaul of the system was needed.

Net-zero, not-zero and ground-zero

WHAT a mess we are in. Labour loses the Hartlepool by-election with a 16 per cent swing to the Tories. A new north-south divide is opening up. With the exception of London, Labour no longer holds the hearts and minds of its conventional heartlands. So much for new leadership, new vision. What on Earth is going on? Ground zero: Boris Johnson gets caught out lying again. Those queuing for the sales in Primark clothing stores just shrug their shoulders. Nothing new there. Johnson is a “Jack the lad” with only an occasional (and entirely accidental) association with the truth. If they had a wish, those outside Primark would probably just want the queue to move faster.
